nVidia Quadro FX 370

Hi!

Maybe somebody can help me with this: I have a new workplace PC (Thinkstation S10) and it has a Quadro FX 370 graphics card installed and I wanted to use it with the closed source drivers. Unfortunately whenever I set up the xorg.conf file (or use an existing one that definitely works at home) the screen stays blank. I checked different versions of the nvidia drivers, including the beta one from AUR but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have an idea or is anybody here that sucessfully runs the Quadro FX 370 with the closed source drivers?

Here's my xorg.conf just in case:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier    "Default"
        Screen    0      "LCD"     0 0

EndSection


Section "Screen"
    Identifier         "LCD"
    Device             "nVidia Quadro"
    Monitor            "LCD"
    DefaultDepth        24
    Option             "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
    SubSection         "Display"
        Viewport        0 0
        Depth           24
        Modes          "1680x1050"
    EndSubSection
EndSection


Section "Extensions"
    Option         "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

The monitor is an Samsung SyncMaster 2043BW with an resolution of 1680x1050. It also works with the open source nv drivers, but I intended to have 3D acceleration running.

Thanks a lot!

I guess you've tried nvidia-xconfig ?

Re: nVidia Quadro FX 370

Based what I've read about the drivers from Nvidia the card I have is new enough so it'll run with the nvidia drivers and not with the nvidia-173xx ones or am I wrong?
Also I think I've read that the new drivers from nvidia (the beta ones in AUR) do support the card..... or am I wrong?
Thanks!

That's wright .

Version: 177.82
Operating System: Linux x86
Release Date: November 12, 2008

Release Highlights
Added support for the following new GPUs:
Quadro NVS 450
Quadro FX 370 LP
Quadro FX 5800
Quadro FX 470
Quadro CX

If your card is '370 LP' and I understand the release notes right , Then support for your card was added in 177.82 while the version in the repos is 177.80 .

That doesn't explain why the beta version didn't work though .
